The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. How does it look?

With RTXDI, lighting artists can render scenes with millions of dynamic area lights in real-time without complex computational overheads or disruptive changes to the artist’s workflow.
